Bust in terracotta

Small bust of a young girl on a pedestal, all in light red / orange terracotta, vintage / old, reproduction "louise brongniard" after houdon. 20cm high for 12cm wide at the shoulders, about 8cm deep. Nice general condition, I do not know if it has been repainted earth color or if it is a thin layer of raw earth, I think it is raw earth applied to homogenize the surface, it results that the details are relatively smooth, a little blurry. Some manufacturing defects (small bubbles in the hair and other more visible defects), small shine on the lower left of the chest and more noticeable shine at the base of the foot that have been repaired to the ground but a little darker, quite discreet however + some small marks of time more or less visible. Very nice object. Unsigned. About 900gr.
